IIRC, Hydras are only available as support, so you have to have one main
force unit per Hydra.

Imperial infantry need one commander for every three squads.

1) You can simply make a Leman Russ detachment HQ.
2) Baneblades are War engines and as such are only fielded as a separate
detachment. (up to 3 per)

Same as Leman Russ. Make a Basilisk HQ.

Whirlwinds are Rhino chassis, so they are Marine only.

Vindicators are rhino chassis. The IG use Demolishers (LemanRuss chassis).

All aviation is separate.

No IG bikes. Rough riders need command as infantry (1:3). Also, you can
take RR commanders.

1) You can make all transport organic to the various squads if you want.
2) You can't take separate Chimeras, IIRC.
3) Thawks are marine only, and as above for aviation.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but you need ot borrow an Armies book from someone.
